Blake has been locked up in this phase for some time, but the end is in sight. He takes his test in this group tomorrow. This isn't the same Blake who left here 6 months ago. As soon as we hear how he did on the test, we'll let you know. Keep Blake in your prayers this week.
He got a day pass last weekend, but didn't go into D.C. He really wants to move on to his duty station, which is going to be Ft. Hood unless something changes. He said that he just hung around town for awhile and then came back to the post.
Well, the glasses problem continues. It seems that he still doesn't have glasses. They have told him that he needs special glasses because of a problem with his eyesight, and it's taking a very long time to make them for him. The alternative is he can have surgery and get the problem fixed. That's what he wants to do as soon as he's finished with the training.
His graduation date is tentatively set for the end of July. Then he makes another stop for all the processing and then on to his duty station.
Well, we've talked with him quite a bit, but most of it has been encouragement for him to just do his best, which he really seems to be doing. This is something that Blake is enjoying and he's always put his full effort into things he loves.
More when we learn more. Till then...
